What if I'm not weight bearing?

If your doctor hasn't recommended weight bearing on your injured leg simply wiggle your toes around and flex your foot. This should allow the microbeads to get into any potential "hot spots." Once you have done this, then proceed to use the included vacuum bulb to remove air until the pump no longer expands.

VACOped doesn't feel like other boots.

Our patented vacuum technology means no inward pressure. VACOcast creates a perfect mold of your limb like a plaster cast without all of the mess (and if you don't get it right the first time you aren't stuck with an ill-fitting cast for weeks). VACOcast will not feel the same as a pneumatic or foam based boot which rely on putting pressure on your limb to create stability. You have the ability to move and shape the beads for maximum comfort. Get the right fit for you.

In this example, air is forced out of a container to form a perfect mold of the hand. VACOcast uses this same principle to create a perfect fitting orthopedic boot, unmatched in its stability and comfort by any other boot on the market.

VACOcast vs VACOped

VACOcast Fit is a fixed position boot. VACOcast Pro/Achilles has a hinge mechanism, to adjust flexion and enable controlled ROM. VACOcast Pro/Achilles is the best boot on the market for Achilles injury.

VACOped is a cast REPLACEMENT

One of the VERY best things about VACOcast is that it can be used immediately post surgery in place of a plaster cast. You have the right request to use your VACOcast in lieu of a plaster cast. Speak with your Orthopedic Specialist and if you would like any medical studies or information to provide to him/her before your procedure contact us at support@opedmedical.com.

Insurance MAY pay for VACOped

HCPCS L4360 is the billing code used by insurers. Request VACOcast before accepting any other "walking" boot from your physician. If you pay out-of-pocket you may still be eligible for some kind of reimbursement from your insurance company. Reimbursement rates vary depending on your coverage and carrier. Please contact your insurance carrier directly for more information.

Generally, out-of-pocket amounts paid for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease or for the purpose of affecting any structure or function of the body may be eligible for reimbursement through FSA or HAS accounts. Your VACOped may just be used in such fashion, and therefore you can try to obtain reimbursement for your out-of-pocket expense through your FSA or HAS account.

To do so, please submit a claim for reimbursement to your FSA or HAS provider, which should include your product purchase invoice. Please note that certain information may be requested from your treating clinician, e.g. a prescription or medical notes.
